Hi - I am having serious issues downloading and streaming content on my Deco x60. In particular, streaming or downloading content on Netflix is a problem (on my ipad, iphone, and tvs). I frequently get an error. I have also tried changing my IPv4 DNS, turned off (and on) beamforming and fast roarming.
In addition to the netflix issues, other streaming services sometimes do not work. Finally, when I try to download large files for work, it only downloads 3-5MB of the total and then stops and says download failed.
On all of the devices, other services, such as google, youtube, etc. work and have no issues. And when I test the internet speed, it says I have no problems, with over 100 Mbps down and 40 mbps up. Thank you for your help.
I was testing it again, and it seems like it isnt as much of an issue when I am connected to the main deco, only to the mesh ones. Not sure if it matters, but I am using ethernet cables to backlink with the main deco. The problem is that I am mainly connected the mesh / endpoint decos, not the main one. Also, it appears that if I connect to the main deco (over wifi), download something on netflix, and then go to a different area and use the mesh, streaming sometimes works for a short period of time, then fails again.
I have two 50" TCL Ruku Tvs. One purchased in 2021 and one in 2022. Netflix doesn't work on either one. Its shuts down or freezes. No issues on my Samsung with a Ruku plug-in. No issues with any other app on all 3 Tv's. I've deleted the app, reinstalled, reset ect.......... My guess is its a TCL issue. Just documenting this. TCL TVs are cheap, but I would avoid.
We appreciate you letting us know about the issue you are experiencing when streaming Netflix. Have you tried contacting TCL or Netflix? If the issue persists on one channel after attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, please contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. There might be an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them. You can check here for the TV support contact list and channel contact list.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.
All the best,
Eunice
I just tested this stupid tracker ID thing and the app just kicks me to the Home Screen at this point and no tracker ID shows up. I know for a fact you have a lot of customers complaining about this and if your problems is not being able to get the tracker ID that will continue to be a problem. Might I suggest that Roku simply get one of these and test it on their own not leaving half the work to the community? I crashed it again while talking and still no tracker ID.
We wanted to let you know that we are continuing to investigate your reported issue and hope to provide you with a more detailed update when additional information is available. Thanks for your continued patience.Do not hesitate to let us know if you have any additional feedback.
I just read this thread. I also have been having the same problems with Netflix. This is a new TCL Roku TV and ONLY Netflix is giving me issues. All the other streaming apps work fine. I have also followed all the steps that are all over you tube and here as well from unplugging, to reinstalling we etc etc and nothing.
Hi guys. The Microsoft Edge is my favorite browser of all times, really, but not when I try to watch netflix or other video streaming services, it always breaks, I have no ideia what to do anymore. Always when I try to play something there's an error and then I need to reload over and over again, sometimes even when I just play the video it stop working when I try to play again. Help me to keep using this best browser that I've ever seen.
I've ever tried to disable hardware acceleration, enable DRM content, install Microsoft Silverlight and a lot of other things, but I didn't get to watch so far without an error I keep receiving these error codes: D7356-7701 and others related. Is there's still something that can be done to really fix theses erros or I just have to be patient and wait for news versions of the browser?
I have a Blu-Ray player ... I have been using this for over a year ... I will often completely lose connection ... I thought this might be a wireless issue so last week I hard-wired the blu-ray player to the Actiontec ... This has not helped ... Should I be requesting an updated set top box?
Your Blu-Ray player is not affected by your STB, although when you connect wirelessly the Actiontec is obviously a possible culprit. The same is true when you connect wired to the Actiontec, and that's certainly a possible offender. Both the Blu-Ray and the STB are network clients on your home network and act independently (within certain limits such as IP assignments, etc.).
You need to investigate where the bandwidth issue arises, and one of the first issues to address (after the router) is your Internet connection speed. What is your subscription? It's possible (if somewhat unlikely) that your speed is too low and results in the buffering issue.
Not to be a pest, but your Blu-Ray is NOT connected to the STB. It's connected to the display device and usually by HDMI. OTOH, if you are using the Blu-Ray to stream content, it is connected to the Internet via the Actiontec router, either by Ethernet or via wireless. In any case, keep us posted and we'll keep trying on this end.
If you haven't already, try streaming Amazon onto your notebook. Wireless. If that works, the problem will be the Blu-Ray. I'm ignoring the cable to the TV because that would not cause the connectivity problem you are having.
I am having tha same problem, but the problem occurred when we switched to Fios from Comcast. Ever since then we have been unable to stream Netflix without it crashing, or failing to connect. It is either one of two problems. It could be a compatibility problem with the wireless range extender, or Verizon is chopping the signal when the bandwidth reaches a certain level, whether it is mine, or based on a majority signal. We went with Fios because we wanted a stronger signal, but we ended up getting a weaker signal. One problem, is not just internet it is also when there are a combination of TV and internet signals going on at once. You might have two TV's on and one of them is streaming Netflix on a player, and another person is surfing the web. Fios should be able to handle this because Comcast with a lower mbps can. Maybe Netflix runs less efficient on Fios and uses up more bandwidth? Who knows? But the problem for me started the day we switched over to Fios.
Same problem here, just switched over from Comcast 50/10 package to Verizon 75/35. Speeds are better than whats rated on speedtest.net. But I get cut outs on the connection using Spotify, Netflix and Vudu. Now heres the big problem, its not wifi since my house is wired for ethernet. All PCs and TVs are wired and drop outs happen regardless of wired or wireless. Also this seems to happen more during the hours of 4-10pm. I'm debating just going back to Comcast and getting rid of this headache.
Why oh why isn't someone from Verizon (tech support AND management) monitoring this thread and posting their thoughts/advise so all can read? I have stuck with Verizon thru all my problems because I have a work-around but I csn understand why there are a lot of upset people out there, some of whom are switching back to other suppliers. Verizon seems to have gotten too big to bother dealing with individual subscribers and their phillosophy seems to be to ignore a problem (or re-direct a user to their useless web-support) and it will go away.
I'm very interested in this thread as I'm having the exact same issues. I've got an internet ready LG TV with a direct ethernet connection to the Actiontec router. In the past few weeks I've suddenly been getting awful buffering and dropping out many times during Amazon streaming shows. And it is happening during 'prime time' (6-9pm)
Amazon told me the same thing--that my records show excellent bandwidth streaming with sudden complete drops. The tech said it looked like the provider was using some sort of Speed Burst that was dumping a ton of data and then 'resting' before sending the next packet--obviously not what one wants for Streaming unless a huge amount is pre-buffered.
I assume it is Verizon but they are impossible to get hold of and when you do, it is rare to get a tech who understands and can diagnose the issue, so any input you all have would be great. I don't know of any way to adjust the HD streaming of Amazon to either increase the buffering or lower the transfer rate (which Hulu does let you do), and I hate to have to switch to SD after bothering to pay for all the HD stuff.
At about 7pm I log into Amazon streaming via Sony S790 bluray player. I have 35mps Fios and the system is hardwired. Connection speed at log in is 15mps. I choose the program I want to stream. Initial speed is still 15mps. After about 1 minute you can watch the speed drop from 15mps to 0.5mps in about 30 seconds. I then get a message to contact my ISP because of the low speed. After about 2 minutes the streaming resumes for about 30 seconds and the whole cycle repeats.
Started watching Amazon at 5:30pm (PST), 15mps. Worked fine until 6:58 when speed went downt to 2mps, streaming paused, message to contact ISP. Streaming resumed after about 1 minute. This happened three times in row. Then speed went to 25mps and I had no further problems.
That doesn't make sense to me. With my prior cable provider my best connection speed was around 1.5mps. At that speed I never had a problem streaming content from Amazon. I didn't encounter problems until it dropped below 1mps. Depending on the content I was ok at under 500kps.
I don't doubt the problems being related in this thread are real. But I suspect the connection speed is not the real culprit. Something else is going on and the speed issue is just a symptom of the real problem.
